Cranking away on some tv I wrapped up Ozark and that was sure a journey, overall I enjoyed it, I’ll leave it at that. I also wrapped my rewatch of Cougar Town which was a fun comedy. I ended up watching the series Crossing Lines because though a little old it was marked a premiere and I hadn’t seen it, perfectly good for a ‘crimes across Europe’ escapade. And Tupac & Biggie which I started watching on USA ages ago but somehow got waylaid and finally caught up, curious about those incidents and time period but maybe lost some momentum in the series.
I’ll be tuning back into previously listed The Boys and Stranger Things and likely The Old Man as well as the returning Animal Kingdom.
